Hello my friends, gentleman gardener here! I do hope you will excuse all my rabbit friends and me for being so late for 'Friday Show & Tell'. We've been busy doing other fun things and aren't quite ready for our spring debut. We will be back soon!

The first rabbit brave enough to emerge from his winter hiding place is Mr. Bosley Reed. Some of you who have been reading my blog for a while may remember him. He has been trying to coax the other cute rabbits & bunnies to come out and play with him. Hopefully they willall be in their special places by the end of the week. I'm predicting they'll be ready for 'Friday Show & Tell'.

For several weeks I've been thinking about doing a regular post about my memories. Last Monday while I was visiting Marie

I read her post 'Random Monday Memories'. I loved the title for the post. I emailed Marie asked her if she would mind me using the same title.

She graciously agreed to let me use her idea!

Thank you Marie!

The town I grew up in had an interesting hardware store filled to the brim with a variety of items. I loved to browse through Billings Hardware. I especially liked to look at the toys & dolls. The Poor Pitiful Pearl doll intrigued me.

Pearl had a plain face. You've heard the expression,

"She was so ugly , she was cute."

Pearl came complete with a simple calico dress . . .

and a fancy little dress so she could transform into a vision of beauty.

A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe. So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her.She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.

The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week.As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week.

Finally she said to Timmy,

'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?'

Excuse me while I get on my soapbox! Are you guilty of texting while driving?

Well, I can barely text while setting on my sofa let along while driving!

I am quilty of answering my phone while driving. I'm taking the pledge to not use my cell phone

when I'm behind the wheel. I have been begging my family members (who will remain nameless)

to stop texting while driving.

source googleI'm very happy that the state of Oklahoma is taking steps to pass a law

to enforce no texting while driving.

Oklahoma is a step closer to banning drivers from texting. House lawmakers are set to vote on a measure which would impose a steep fine.House Bill 3250, by state Rep. Sue Tibbs and state Rep. Danny Morgan, would penalize any person who is operating a motor vehicle on a street or highway while using a cellular telephone or electronic communication device to write, send or read a text-based communication while the motor vehicle is in motion with a fine of up to $1,000.“This is an important measure that hopefully will encourage drivers to pull off the road to a safe area if they must text someone,” said Tibbs. “This could save people from serious injuries or death. There’s no reason for innocent lives to be lost because a text couldn’t wait.

Let's take it a step further, don't dial or talk on the phone while driving.

A first grade girl handed in this drawing for her homework assignment. The teacher graded it and the child brought it home. She returned to school the next day with the following note:

Dear Ms. Davis,

I want to be perfectly clear on my child's homework illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint surrounded by male customers with money. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This drawing is of me selling a shovel.
